Im voting for Mickey Mouse.......
I personally hate Hillary, but I'll try to keep this response objective. First of all she is not yet technically the Presidential Party but the only real competitor she has is Obama, and I think Al Gore may also be in there some where. The main problem with Hillary as far as trying to get votes goes is that everyone in the US knows her and either loves her or hates her, so she really can't swing that many votes (My American Politics teacher termed it "Clinton fatigue"). As far as answering who will vote for her, mostly feminist, hard-line, democrats, anti-gun people, etc. There are more than a few other groups I've missed in this but those are the first ones that come to mind when I think about it.SteikeTa wrote:
Hillary Clinton. Soooo, anyone of you think she would be doing a good job as president? And who would vote for her? I don't know anything about American politics, thats why I ask. Was reading some days ago in the newspaper that she was her political party's(correct word?) presidential candidate(I think...). What do you guys think?
I hope that might help you understand the basics of these politics a little bit better, but just to let you know, the whole thing is really a lot more complex then what I've written down here.
There's always the chance that it will remain white men until Hispanics and Asians become about equal to whites in overall portions of the population.Homeschtar wrote:
I hope it's not Hillary. Not only would she be a bad president, she'd be a bad first woman president. What I'm not sure about is whether America will vote in a black man or a white woman first. I'm rooting Obama.
Still, now is the ideal time for a black man to be president. In the near future, blacks will become a very small percentage of the population, since Hispanics and Asians greatly outpace Africans when it comes to immigration.
One benefit of having Obama as president is that he's Muslim. Given the really bad relations we have with the Islamic World at the moment, having an Islamic president would probably improve our relations with them. It would be harder for these countries to see us as an enemy of Islam if we have a Muslim leader.
so if hillary is elected my entire life of presidents would be Reagen, Bush Sr, Bush Sr, W Clinton, W Clinton, Bush Jr, Bush Jr, H Clinton im 25 years old people, lets elect some new fucking people, this is a democracy right?
bush sr only had one term
